Start with the council covering your business
Sunshine Coast and Noosa have separate council support routes.
Check your operating address before applying for council support. Choose one repeat task, such as preparing appointment details or following up an enquiry, and explain who handles it today. Confirm the programme’s location rules, topic and current availability before registering.
- Which council area covers the place where I operate?
- Do I need advice, a practical class or help implementing a task?
- Who will check the output before it affects a customer?
